Southern California teachers plan to file a lawsuit after a commercial airliner with engine trouble dumped jet fuel over a densely populated area, including several schools, while making an emergency return to Los Angeles International Airport, their attorney said Friday. None were taken to a hospital

1 / 3Aircraft Fuel DumpIn this image from video, Delta Air Lines Flight 89 to Shanghai, China dumps fuel over Los Angeles before returning to Los Angeles International Airport for an emergency landing Tuesday, Jan. 14, 2020. Fire officials say fuel apparently dumped by the aircraft returning to LAX fell onto an elementary school playground. A fire department tweet says firefighters are assessing"multiple patients" at the school in the suburban city of Cudahy, Calif.

The airline did not immediately respond to an email requesting comment prior to the attorney's planned late-morning news conference. Not much is known about the health effects of exposure to kerosene-type jet fuel, according to the federal Health and Human Services Department. Studies using military personnel suggest it can affect the nervous system, but that research involved people who work around jet fuel all the time. Rats that were fed kerosene showed no increase in tumors, the agency said in a 2017 summary.

These people don't even have any damages to show. What are they suing for? It's likely more toxic to walk one hour downwind a busy street.

It's opportunity time for the CTA.

The government just wants you to think it was jet fuel.

Delta crew that dumped fuel on schools in Los Angeles didn't notify air traffic controllersThe FAA is investigating after a Delta flight dumped fuel on a populated part of Los Angeles that included several elementary schools during an emergency landing. Communicate comes last. Safety first. Ideally you head out over the ocean and do that...occasionally there isn’t time 'it shares 'concerns regarding reported minor injuries to adults and children at a school in the area.'... Yeah, minimize the extent of the problem. Well played Delta.
